Spring is the perfect season to be a wine lover in Washington. Between the spring barrel tastings and the fun festivals, this is a great time to soak up the long anticipated sunshine while sampling some of our new vino. Here are a few spots you should head this season — and you may want to bring a designated driver.
There's nothing like a spring in Chelan, and if you go for the Lake Chelan Spring Release, you'll get to sample the new whites and Rosés. This year's dates are April 20-21 and April 27-28. Get the details of participating wineries at lakechelanwinevalley.com. And if you like jazz as much as wine, the Lake Chelan Wine and Jazz Festival is May 16 - 19.
On April 26, the Kirkland Downtown Association will host the annual wine walk, and you won't want to miss it. Meet winemakers from 15 wineries and a brewery, sip and stroll, all for $25 ($30 at the door).
